  • Simply a Blast! - 2002 Audi S4
    By -

    Great vehicle! First Audi Ive owned. Comfortable, fast and not too flashy. Was looking for an A8 at the time. Came across the S4 and drove it home. So far, the most fun vehicle Ive owned and seems to be as reliable as a Benz. The only qualm is the cost of service is as expensive as Jags. Fortunately its never in shop though but for the scheduled intervals (every 10000 miles... awesome!). Ive come to the conclusion that the next vehicle upgrade will be for another S4!

  • One great Audi! - 2002 Audi S4

    This is an all around great car. Its an absolute blast to drive, and you can blow away most cars youll encouter at the red light on your way home from the grocery store. Plus, its just a little bit different, which is always good.

  • Low quality performer - 2002 Audi S4
    By -

    I couldnt be happier with the stock performance of this car. The price to performance and features ratio of this car cant be beat, and simple upgrades can make this car truly track ready. In the Northeast or snowy climes, no car on the road can touch it (B6 S4 and RS 6 aside). But quality, reliability, and dealer service is absolutely brutal. Electrical system problems are Audis specialty, but I have also had problems with everything from rattles to rivets popping to coolant pumps failing to leather spalling to ... Service quality and knowledge from dealers is poor (e.g. Audi service does not feel its necessary to rotate tires).

  • Best all around car - 2002 Audi S4
    By -

    I recently went through the experience of having our 1st child and after 6 months realized that a stable of 2 Porsches wasnt working very well. I have always been a Porsche fanatic and owned a 930 turbo and a Boxster. Knowing that I needed to buy a more practical car but realizing I wouldnt be happy with less performance, I stumbled across the Audi S4. This car is the very best all around car that is on the market. It offers a stock 250hp twin turbo engine (which can easily be tuned to 310hp) with a max torque at 1850rpms. This thing shoots off the line and handles corners like a Porsche. Its also very comfortable, fits a baby seat in the backseat, has 4 doors, huge trunk, and can handle snow.

  • The perfect car - 2002 Audi S4
    By -

    This car is a blast to drive! Great interior quality. I purchased used (w/ 10,000 miles) and have not had any reliability issues to date. Very few S4s on the road, so its great driving a unique car. I have no complaints so far (except for the poor gas mileage), and would HIGHLY recommend to anyone interested in a used B5 S4.

    i did my homework and checked everything that came close to comparing. Nothing matches the feel of driving this car, its handling and design make it the perfect combination of luxury and power. if you havent driven one you couldnt possibly understand. nothing else compares

  • Great Car - 2002 Audi S4

    This is my first Audi and I love it. Great power and handling. Most fun car I have ever driven.

  • can they improve it? - 2002 Audi S4
    By -

    This is my 2nd Audi. I got one of the last S4s. I wont give it up easily. There is not much I would change, it has the classis A4 shape and proportions. I pray for cool wet days to humiliate just about anything else on the road. Yet I can take it to a business meeting and impress anyone. As always paint is awesome and the fit and finish of the interior is great.

  • fully pleased with my S4 - 2002 Audi S4
    By -

    Added a transmission chip for my tiptronic and an engine chip both from the very trustworthy folks at Stratmosphere. Result? The car was as transformed from a stock S4 as it is from a stock 1.8 A4.

  • "Silken Rocket" as dubbed by AUDI - 2002 Audi S4
    By -

    I bought this car based upon a comparison with the BMW 3 series. The 3 series felt cheap on the inside as compared with the S4. This car has it all for the price. The turbo responds instantly, when you punch the gas its gone. Passing other vehicles has become a full time occupation.
